Aide-Borreau (Portant un de Bois de la Croix) 1936

"Aide-Borreau (Portant un de Bois de la Croix)" is a 1936 lithograph by the French artist Georges Rouault (1871-1958). The artwork depicts a figure carrying a heavy cross on his shoulders, with the thick black lines and dramatic chiaroscuro typical of Rouault's style. The subject matter, combined with the bold and expressive lines, reflects the artist's deep religious beliefs and his social commentary on human suffering and the burden of sin. This print exemplifies Rouault's exploration of human condition through a distinct visual vocabulary.
